Janen had just about unleashed all that he had gathered when he suddenly stopped at her pained gasp. He was about to question what was wrong, but soon Phoenix informed him of what had caused her pain. "Go figure the last one would bring the most complications" the white haired demon said with a sigh. He had known that the lock would serve troublesome on himself already, but he hadn't imagined that it too would be a hardship upon the angel. Have the link to the lock tied to her heart as well would prove even more troublesome. "Yes I think we'll have to come up with a different approach for this one" he said with a sigh and sat down, closing his eyes in thought.

I do not know my sweet, but that is for another time. Normal humans have already gone to bed by now! Damien picked her up easily, holding her in his arms as he brought her to the bed, laying her down gently, pulling the covers over her and kissing her forehead. He sat at the edge of the bed then, just staring at her.

Janen gently opened his eyes and glanced over at Phoenix as she spoke. She did indeed seem rather tired and a break would probably indeed be beneficial to them both. Calmly he nodded his head in agreement. "I agree a rest would be the best option at the moment" he replied calmly. He did raise a white eyebrow slightly as the angel apologized for her weakness. "If you were weak you would have continued on without regard to the consequences. It is not weak to be smart about things, therefore you've nothing to apologize for. And I do not mind stopping for a bit, after all I was the one that offered my time and services to you so I do not mind" he said again as gently as a demon like him could, although there was a clear hint of honesty and sincerity to his tone.

Penelope have a small scream of surprise as she was licked. She had smiled at the beast as he bent low to sniff at her, she even petted his cold wet nose. But the sudden slobery attack gave her a small start and now she knew how Zeak felt.
"eh, Bleh!" she stated as she attepmpted to wipe the slober from herself.

"oh well im sorry for the missunderstannding" Zeak said as he aloowed the women to lower his hand. "its just i know nothing of your kind, " he added with a smile as he then offered his hand to lead her to the main floor. "to be honest penelopoe knows a little more about the Elvin race than any human." he said with a small laugh as he had witnessed the large three headed dog give his princess a slobery lick. More laughing came from the man as he watched her try and clean herself off. he hadent quite laughed like this in a long time. Usually the princess would do silly things that warrented a small smirk or a quiet chuckle from him, but it seemed tonight was mostdiffrent.

"stop laughing Zeak!" penelop shouted as she could hear him laughing. she gave zeak a small glar before throwing a hand full of slobar onto the floor.

Again the one head watching Zeak carefully continued to watch and wait for the fallen to be in range of his gentle toothy grab. After all to the three headed beast fallen angels were perhaps one of the 'toys' that proved to be the most fun. Cerberus's other two heads meanwhile cocked to the side as Penelope started to wipe the slobber off of her and from the startled yells she gave. One began to pant slightly in joy. It wasn't before long though before the two heads began to 'attack' the princess with a slobber bath again.

Why do you do that love? It pains me to see you like that.....The mark wasnt suppose to grow like that you know....it was suppose to remain tiny, kind of like a human Tattoo. Damiens eyes looked downcast, almost as if he would cry, but who would think demons COULD cry? He sighed and stood up, facing the door.

Zeak stopped laughing just in time to here the Elf make her statment. He to a small breath before blushing slightly and turning to her. "We-well yes, I suppoes theirs no hiding it is their!" he said with a slight chuckle. "I suppose you could say ive somewhat fallen in love with her after these years." he added as he watched the three headed dog eye him and give the princess a slober bath once again. He chuckled once again. "Is it that odvous?(MSP)" he asked looking back to the women slightly concirned. Perhaps the reson he was being punished by the king of Heaven was because of his love for penelope.

Penelop gave a small scream once she was attack by dog toungs again. She put her arms up in defecnce as well to try and keep it from completly covering her face. She felt herself lift from the floor a few feet befor touching back down . This granted another small scream from her as well as a small giggle.
"Ok, Ok I get it you like me!" he said as she attempted to dodg a nother lick" I dont have very many more cloths to change innto you know!" She called up to the animal as she ducked away form it.

''I wasnt interpeting anything now was I? To a normal person, it would probably look like family love.'' The elven woman smiled, her eyes closed, not even giving him a small look of anything. If she would he'd notice... Which would be bad, considering he's the protective kind... Myrr didnt want to be the 'aww, how sad isnt she?' elf again. She became stronger now. And didnt want to end up in that pit of unwanted 'attention' again.
''Though, probably, if you would dig deeper a person could notice. The people around you except for her, probably somewhat noticed already.'' The elf said, still smiling, opening her eyes slightly to show a motherly... Love in them.

((interpreting is the same as assuming, I get the Idea you had misunderstood? o-o))

((OOPS i thought its said interupting! SORRY!! I fix!))

''That would more or less be my main objective here.'' The elf woman said rather cold, making it obvious she noted he just changed the subject. And he said 'see' Which made her quite... Irritated. A smile appeared her face a second later though, if he noted her sudden change too many it would end up in discovering everything anyway.
''So, noting that you are more or less her bodyguard, who is she?'' The elven woman curiously asked, wondering who the person was. She had a royal aura, but acted like none. So what status did she have? Obviously the elf didnt came here knowing all the royalty from hell or heaven.

Zandar was slightly surprised to see how angry she was about his statment, but he didnt allow it to show. Insted he acted as if it was nothing. When she smiled he smiled as well. He was now beginning to wonder what she was really up to, or rather, if their was any mallishous(msp) intent behind her words.
"The girl?" he asked his attention directed to Penelope. "She, shes just the princesses little sister!" He stated calmly as he watched penelope begin to evade the three deaded dog. But his attention was back on the Elf women as it seemed, to him, that she needed the most watching right now. "Her highness is away with the prince at the moment." he lied rather smoothly

Zeak was taken aback when she had caught him. he had no idea what else to do other than what was right. "im verry sorry, i keep offending you!" he stated with a small sigh that showed he understood he was caught. "I did not tell the truth because i fear another attack upon her." he explained, "it has alredy happened once tonight i do not wish for it to happen again!" he finished with a small sigh. "Sides i wouldent be much of a rooyal guard if i wasnt at least a little suspicus of a new commer!" he added looking over at her. he could see she was slightly if not completly irritated and angry with him.

The two hound heads of Cerberus tilted to the side once more as Penelope spoke, pausing momentarily in continuing her tongue 'bath'. The beast didn't really understand most of what was said, but he took it as a good thing considering the giggling from before. After a few moments pause the two heads once more attempted to continue licking the princess, though as she ducked the hound began to see it as a sort of game, one he was thoroughly enjoying.

The other dog head meanwhile, continued to eye Zeak and lowered a bit as he seemed ready to make an attempt at nabbing him up. The look in the hound's eyes though was clearly a playful one, even as the fallen glared at him. After all he had seen his Master glare many times at others, though seemed to derive pleasure from torturing the ones that received such a look, so naturally the beast associated it with wanting to play. Happily the head let out a playful bark and panted happily. The snake tail too seemed to be inclined to attempt to play as it tried to slither stealthily towards the elven woman and fallen angel.

As he felt Phoenix begin to fall into the embrace of sleep, Janen gently allowed his consciousness to flow back into his own body, after all he was rather uncertain what sort of effect his presence in the angel's mind would have on her if he were to remain there while she slept. Rather calmly the white haired demon opted to pulling up a chair within the room and quietly watched over the now sleeping half mechanical angel. He was finding that he didn't really mind the angel in the least, like he had the other somewhat overbearing one from earlier.

While she slept the white haired demon would often close his eyes as he tried to think of a solution to the final lock. He hadn't really encountered such a thing, or if he had it wasn't often, and so he wasn't entirely sure what to do. Perhaps his Commander would have some ideas...He was brought out of his latest session of deep thought as the feeling of consciousness from the angel drifted to his senses, causing him to immediately open his blue eyes. "There's no need for thanks, I really don't mind" he said with a shrug. His head nodded slightly in an almost pleased manner in finding that she was feeling much better without the other locks, even though he would never verbally express it. At her suggestion of the next course of action the demon thought about it. It would give him time to converse with Talon about it, and perhaps even the angel's father could suggestion something as well. "I think that sounds like a sound plan. It would probably be better then us attempting to break it now without much more knowledge of it and possibly having drastic consequences come of it" he said after a few moments with another nod. He then stood and went to the now sitting up angel and offered his arm in assistance just in case she needed it.
